Let lis wake UP.

Something besides soil and climate has
given to Southern California it's abnor.
NAL development. Both climate and
soil that choice garden spot of earth was
known to possess, long before the influx
of Americans, and for quarter CT d
century after their coming the virtues OF
the section had been thoroughly made
known, and yet it remained in an unde.
veloped state. The secret---but it is no
secret-of the rapid growth of the
country having the City of the Angels
for its center, Is o rare combination of
men OF energy, foresight aud courage.
A drowsy headed set might have had
the same advantages. and not protite
by them. and Los Angeles and the sur.
rounding country might have remained
for years as in the past, when the sleepy
class possessed the land and kept it un.
improved and unsettled. -.s
The dash and enterprise of these boom.
ers in the south are catching TO all
around them. 1t even warns the spirit
OF the people up this way to certain
extent. But there is difference. 1t is
not all "chin music" down there. The
leaders put their money in and invite
others to follow, while the reverse Is the
rule in some parts of the State. There
they put their shoulders to the wheel
and pray to Hercules; here it is mostly
PRAYER and little shoulder.
A sample of the way business is done
in Southern California may be seen in
the building OF the town of Monrovia,
distant fifteen miles from Los Angeles,
eastward, at the base OF the Sierra
Madre. A few months ago the site
was all brush and brambles. The pro.
moters OF the place do not simply beg
others to build the town. They 60 out

ST LOUIS. April 2i.--The Republican
Washington correspondent again refer.
ring to the Presidential denomination
matter gives the following: A story has
come to correspondent of the Repab.
lican tonight. significantly confirma.
tory of the conversation between the
President and his Senatorial visitor.
This story is to the effect that the Presi.
dent had quite recently prepared letter
to be made public, setting forth his
views in regard to second term in plain,
distinct words, unqualiGedly declaring
no would not be candidate for re-elec-
tion. Yielding to the earnest persuasion
Of !his friends. he concluded, however,
to withhold his letter for tho present at
least, if not to wholly abandon his in.
tention Of giving 1t to the public.
This story is on the authority Of Col.
Dorsheimer. of New York, who
was in Washington few days ago. He
told several of his friends while here
Immediately after coming from the
White House, that be had been shown
the draft of letter such az has been
already characterized, and his advice
was asked regarding the policy of such
publication. He said the letter referred
at some length to the opposition of a
certain element Of the Dem ocratic party
to the election of Cleveland, and the
chance that this might defeat the ticket.
After referring to this well-known fact,
or the existing situation, Col. Dorsheimer
says the President went on in his letter
to say that he deemed it wise,
in view of these circumstances, to with.
draw his name from all consideration in
connection with the nomination. He
announced in un quivocal terms that be
was not o candidate, and suggested that
some other leader who could command
the united supper. Of the whole party.
be selected as standard bearer in 1883.
Col. Dorsheimer stated that he at once
protested against any public use Of the
letter as proposed; he told the President
there was no need for i'm to adopt this
step now, whatever might prove to be
wise hereafter; he urged the President
to abandon the idea, for the present, at
any rate, aud finally induced him to
yield to bis persuasions.

Plague of Professional PhilanthroDist,

New York is plagued with big contingent of professional philanthropists. There are scores upon scores of women-newly rich many of them-with little or nothing to do, living on the edges of society and eager to cross the boundary line. The readiest way that occurs to them is to get their names written down on "boards" of one kind and another and take up benevolence as diver sion, which keeps them in good company and gets their names into the newspapers. These women taint everything they touch with patronage. They spend their money lavish ly, and most of them are thoroughly good natured at heart, and, in spite of their selfish motives and ohlettante methods, really mean to do good and think they are.
 The great mass of working women fight shy of these amateur lady bountifuls. They don't want to be invited into Sunday school class with @ cooking school annex They don't want to have their meals supervised, their way of living criticized and their inde- pendence of thought controlled. They don't care fig about sweetness and light; they want some butter on the bread they have honestly earned and piece of meat to go with it, all to be eaten without Japanese pa- per napkins or deluging anybody with thank yous. us.-PG1ladelphia Press. @..-
